Small update

 Catching up again. Now available for viewing my Porcupine birthday card 2020 in my personal web site/portfolio. Enjoy!

Birthday card with Porcupine and flowers 2020

 As usual I'm a bit late on posting the latest things. 

Unfortunately because of personal chaos of completing many, many tasks this year and the lose of my beloved cat Meetso, the thought of my friend's birthday got lost in the fray.  Hopefully I can do my best next year to remember. 😕I marked it on my calendar to make sure. Better make sure its on next's year's calendar too.

Here we have a lovely card I partially repurposed for a friend's fall birthday. The original birthday greeting card was a bit too ordinary so I decided to customize it was a cute porcupine drawing and painted it with some of the flowers already featured on the card. It made sense to have the flowers stuck all over his quills. They make a handy friendship flower holder don't they?

Drawing is one of a kind, sketched by me on tracing paper. I wasn't sure at first as to how I was going to place the drawing onto the card. So this is why its on tracing paper. 

Painted with water and acrylic on water colour paper after being placed and glued onto a greeting card. Pretty, but now enhanced to be even better. 

 

 

Will post it soon in my personal web site. 

Thanks for viewing!

Giant Fake Marker Storage Tube

 Its another one of those "pop in post" postings. Posting when ever I can post. Only bare with me since I haven't been getting much sleep lately and then there's the fact I'm super busy. A nice combination to make you sleepy and lazy. Might make my writing a bit lazy too.

Anyhow this time I'm featuring a cool way of storing all those posters you have laying around taking up needless space all over the place.  Basically you take a boring old poster tube and make it look like a giant marker. A much nicer way of storing all those posters out of the way. You can now display it on a wall next to a giant pencil like I have or make a giant container such as a giant pencil case. Its up to you. Hears how you can make one. 

You need one empty poster tube. A good place to find one for free is possibly in a not so dirty dumpster. Usually containing cardboard of various things such as boxes. Or maybe get a used one from the mail. Or going the paid rout, you can get one from a post office, parcel service office or office supply place. Its up to you. Then you can then design a template with your favorite image editing program. If you don't have one there's are many free ones online available to download. And or you can use a template I designed as a starting point. It cuts down on some of the work. (template will be uploaded at a later date)You also need a large white sheet of some kind to cover the tube so you can have a nice clean slate to glue and stack your designs on the tube to make it look like a marker. A nice white sheet of paper is best. I happen to have a few things like old shiny scrap papers that I have been saving in my odds and ends closet. Also helps to have a marker for a reference for inspiration. I myself used a design marker. You can use any type as inspiration or just come up with something you like. Once you have every thing ready its time to simply bring it all together. 

I decided to make my fake marker red.  I put a personal spin on my design as well. My marker poster tube is currently sitting in my miniature basement studio next to the giant pencil. Its a nice souvenir from Croatia given to me by a dear friend. She's past away now.

The following pics are examples of my process and end result. Enjoy!

I already had some other paper such as this red paper that I added to indicate the colour of the marker. But you can add colour with paint or whatever method you like.

What it looks like on a wall. How fun!  🔺 

Can't see the giant pencil I know but its there. Trust me. 

 

Great! I hope you enjoyed my latest project. I hope you try and make your own. I'm tired and I'm going to bed now. Good night! 😪Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Update. Latest image featured.

 Dreaming poodle night shirt now featured in my personal web site. As always, link location is in the side panel. Just look for it you lazy bones. 

Finished Dreaming Poodle night shirt

 Again, hello world and blog. Like I posted in my other blog, its been awhile. I know. I always say that, but I have been busy with a personal project. Hoping that it will pan out. 🙏But the way the world is right now, makes me wish I could leave the planet for something better. A planet without AHoles! I ask my self every day lately, "do I even have a future? Is there a point?" "Is there anything for anyone? "I really hope that mister constipated P is not going to wreak the whole world with his selfishness.  Rich people at the top who feel have the right to "pull the strings" make me sick!" 😡You know who you are!!! You will pay by your own hand! Then you will ask"what was the point?!"

Anyways here is how that Dreaming Poodle Night shirt turned out. Very beautifully and just what I needed. Hopefully I will get to make more of these but it seems to get harder and harder to find the time to make personal things for my self. But still going to try. 

Again, I had purchased a nice extra large magenta tank top or well, a plus size. Because I like loose for sleeping. Normally I wear an extra large for day time use shirts. I made a cute drawing of a poodle sleeping and drew some novelty text to enhance my design. Hand printed it onto the tank top. Then hand painted as well as airbrushed the whole thing in fabric acrylic. Finished it by clear coating it.Wore it quite comfortably last summer. 😊
